Isn’t there a thing where people show affection in different ways? As in, someone might give gifts; someone takes care of little practical things, someone is verbal.... So we have to make sure we see what people are offering but also how they are offering it?

These are great... but sometimes I find myself reading too much into this kind of thing after reading an article like this. For example, I’ll read this and go home and then start to fret my boyfriend and I are destined to not work out because when we are watching TV and he’s looking at his phone and I lean over to…

When I get those computer support scammers, credit card scammers, auto warranty scammers, whatever, I like to mess with them. But as soon as they realize I’m not falling for their scam, they always take a really strange tack—they start hitting on me. They tell me they love me and they want a kiss and go into detail…

I get defensive only at the concept of group responsibility or group guilt.

Dude killed it at the annual company picnic sack-race

He sure went balls-out.

Take as many photos as you like, just stop putting your damn phone between me & the thing I am actually trying to watch/look at now.

I don’t think the point is to not take pictures but to have a good balance between using your camera and being in the moment. Because if all you’re doing is looking through the viewfinder, you should either get paid for it or just stay home and find a video of it online. I like taking pictures myself but I can’t stand…

Yes! Thank you. This needs to be said more often.

It was because you were white.

This has no place in this article “It’s easier for a white nurse than a black motorist to say no to a cop. “ 

Good article, I thought this was going to be nonsense (most online legal advice is) but it was actually pretty good info. As for Miranda 2 things: 1) not everyone needs to be mirandized (lot of people aren’t because we simply don’t need to ask anymore questions) 2) public safety exception, the classic example is if…

Guy I shared an office with in grad school had a twinkie he saved from his first day until his defense, about 6 years or so. We opened it...oh my god the smell. Like sawdust mixed with rancid bananas. We cracked it in half (yes, cracked) and the cream inside had the consistency of spray-on foam insulation. He…

What I started doing when I go to museums is I take a Moleskine journal with me and a pencil. I find it relaxing to write notes or draw/sketch what really strikes me.

When my oldest was a two-week-old newborn, I had him in his carseat, on the floor, next to the piano, where I sat on an inflatable rubber donut (omg the pain from that birth) and practiced for an upcoming audition. I didn’t know yet about having the arm of the carseat locked...so I when I picked up the carseat to move…

I was always told that in the event of sudden cranial deceleration, if the trauma site sticks out you’re fine. If it’s a dent, take them to the ER.

I live at one end of a bus route. I on occasion walk to the other end and take the bus back. It’s a nice ride when it’s earned.
